Pentax/Samsung Owners: It's Bargain Time For You - Oops, I made a booboo...

Ahoy!

Thought you Sigma and Pentax/Samsung owners could do with a bit of a bargain heads-up.

Check this out for Pentax/Samsung mount. Same model and price for anyone using the Sigma mount.

They're the non-DG coated versions (I had the exact same version for my Sony) and it's a superb lens. At this price, it's one of the greatest bargains going. Add a Sigma 1.4x TC and you're away! I paid more than this for my USED example, so at this price . . . wow! Bear in mind that the DG coated version is £1124.99 for Pentax K-mount from these people (maybe cheaper elsewhere).

Sony/Minolta DG coated version here (and this is the BEST price I can find it for, even by eBay standards), and compared to the equivalent model for all other mounts, is also a deal in itself.

Sigma don't use the same K mount as Pentax and Samsung
They use a very close variant but its not compatible.

Pity becuase I would have had one in a shot.

I know, I amended the post to avoid confusion.

Now I am totally confused.
You still mention Pentax and Samsung in the main body of the post (I know nothing can be done about the title) when it won't fit either.
